NEARER, "I AM" TO THEE 

Nearer, "I AM," to Thee

Thy light I see;

Draw me by Love Divine,

Thy Self to be!

Possess my mind and soul,

Make Thou my bodies whole;

Help me attain my goal

"I AM" in Thee! 

Holy Christ Self of me,

Reveal Thy power;

Hold God-control of me

Every passing hour.

Thou art my Friend Divine,

Holding my God-design!

By love my world refine

Blaze Thy light through me! 

Though I have wayward been,

Wandering afar

Now I return to Thee,

Bringing Freedom's Star.

Watch o'er me day and night,

Help me make all things right;

By Glorious Victory's might,

Ascend me to Thee!  

I claim Thy Presence now,

Love's victory won!

Thy crown upon my brow,

My long journey done!

Now free from every stain

By use of Freedom's Flame;

Grateful to Saint Germain,

I ascend to Thee. 

Upward from Earth I soar Into Thine arms;

Now free forevermore

From all fear's alarms.

"Welcome" I hear Thee say

"Thou has been long away!

Now be Perfection's Ray

For Eternity!" 

In Heaven's beauty rare, Now I abide;

Sure that no earnest prayer

Ever is denied.

So, knowing Freedom's worth,

Grateful for love's rebirth,

I call "Now raise all Earth

'I AM', to Thee."

HYMN TUNE: "Nearer, My God to Thee".

"I would like to thank all of you this morning for manifesting such a real interest in our endeavor to combine current activities taking place, with decrees, visualizations and songs which have proven to be so effective in producing the results we desire for mankind's greater illumination and freedom. Your willing co-operation with us in releasing energies, allows us to give to the Great Karmic Board more and more proof that mankind, when apprised of certain distressing conditions which need perfecting, will give assistance to that end."

Excerpt from Beloved El Morya's instructions.
